Glyphosates, Vaccinosis, Endocrine Disruption, and the Autism Connection

Glyphosates were introduced in 1975 and since then, this popular herbicide has been used in agricultural and residential applications and in public land use such as parks and pathways. Not only is Glyphosate-containing Roundup sprayed prior to planting, but farmers use glyphosate to dry crops like beans, wheat, and oats right before harvesting them to speed up the drying process. The daily exposure to this herbicide through our food source not only affects the gut microbiome but as you’ll read below it contributes to Vaccinosis and disrupts the Endocrine System.

Vaccinosis

(Chronic illness, discomfort, or malaise that results from immunization)

As vaccines are incubated on gelatin taken from the collagen of animals raised on Glyphosate sprayed feed, it is stored in the collagen of the animal. Gelatin is sourced from the skin and bones of cattle and pigs who were fed glyphosate-contaminated feed containing the herbicide.

What happens then when a child is injected with a vaccine containing Glyphosate?

Glyphosate encourages the system to stay in a hyper-elevated state of inflammation, which we often see in children with complex issues. This state of inflammation drives cerebral excitation, inflammation, and Autistic expression. In addition, Glyphosate suppresses the immune system’s ability to develop the appropriate macrophage response needed to neutralize the newly injected bacterial or viral particles.

Glyphosate compounds the toxicity of mercury and converts it to methyl mercury, which is far more toxic. So, an individual who already has heavy metal toxicity will become much more toxic. It also exaggerates the inflammatory response from the aluminum adjuvant added to the vaccine, thus compounding immune system inflammation.

Often Glyphosate-containing vaccinations can be the trigger point in starting systemic/brain inflammation and they can be a contributing factor in the expression of Autism symptoms.

Evidence has indicated that some non-inherited factors such as exposure to environmental pollutants are associated with neurodevelopment disorders like autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Endocrine Disruption

What is the endocrine system?

It is a network of glands and organs throughout the body that is similar to the nervous system in the vital role of controlling/regulating many of the body’s functions. The endocrine system is made up of several organs called glands. Glands, located all over the body, create and secrete (release) hormones. Hormones are chemical messengers that coordinate different functions in the body by carrying messages through the blood to organs, skin, muscles, and other tissues. The observation that males may be four times as likely to be diagnosed with ASDs as females suggest hormonal involvement.

Some of the bodily functions affected by the Endocrine System: - metabolism - growth & development - sexual function & reproduction - heart rate - blood pressure - appetite - sleep/wake cycle - body temperature, these symptoms and more are often reflected in a child with complex issues such as Autism.

Glyphosate is an Endocrine Disruptor which means it is a chemical that either mimics or blocks hormones and disrupts the body’s normal functions.

How does it do this? - it alters normal hormone levels - halts/stimulates the production of excess hormones - interacts directly with the organ that the hormone was meant to regulate - transforms one hormone into another - can tell cells to die prematurely - competes with essential nutrients.

Any chemical that interferes with the actions of these hormones, has the potential to disrupt brain development.

Several chemical messengers, such as various hormones and hormone-like substances, along with neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, are directly or indirectly linked with the encoding of social behavior via their action at the amygdala, hippocampus, and other related brain structures known to be involved in different aspects of social development. It is thought that any imbalance in the secretion and action of these chemicals may lead to defective or abnormal social behaviors that are the hallmarks of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs).

As part of Homeopathic care, I use Organotherapy to support the Endocrine System during any Homeopathic Detox of Glyphosate or any other Detox.
